Universal Christian Unity,” exhorts His Holiness Pope John XXIII, cannot be attained without the attainment of individual unity.” To attain this unity each Angelite must reflect the image in which she was made— like unto God: firstly, in her very being expressed in life which participates in Divine Being—GOD IS LIFE; secondly, in her individual unity —the unique identity by which she is known and loved by God—GOD IS LOVE; thirdly, in her capacity for knowing truth —GOD IS TRUTH; fourthly, in her ability for choosing goodness —GOD IS GOODNESS; and, finally, in her incomparable gift of expressing and appreci¬ ating beauty —GOD IS BEAUTY. This unity of life gives the Angelite oneness of purpose and make her intellectually mature, spiritually strong, and socially responsible. Susan Preli Our (J3indinc O orce [PCngelite [Pledge I solemnly pledge myself before God and Our Lady of the Angels, and in the presence of the honored faculty and stu¬ dent body to pass my life in purity, per¬ form my duties faithfully, and wear my uniform honorably. I will do all in my power to keep high the standards for which the Academy stands — moral uprightness and honest scholastic endeavor. As a true Angelite I will ever refer with respect to the faculty, heed its every coun¬ sel and direction, and shun all such actions that may bring upon the school moral and material ruin. Toward my fellow Angelites I will ever strive to be trustful, friendly, and obliging. To secure blessings from above, I en¬ shrine this my pledge in the Immaculate Heart of Mary. 4 Dedication. 6 Administration and Faculty .... 8 Seniors’ Intellectual Pursuits ... 14 Underclassmen. 52 Our Spiritual Growth. 62 Our Social Maturity. 72 5 edication ■. Historians, who will record the twentieth century as the age of technology, atomic developments, and exploration of space, will likewise point to the fact that this century marked a decisive step toward Christian Unity. These scholars will, perhaps, compare this era to a swiftly running river of strug¬ gles—the race for the conquest of space, the race for eco¬ nomic progress, and the race for world power. Yet, they cannot forget that in this epoch of intellectual, scientific pursuits, lives a dedicated fisherman striving to transfer the drowning people of the world from the river of plurality to the pool of ONENESS. His ship is the Twenty-first Ecumenical Council, the first to set sail in 92 years. His crew is the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, keeping the vessel from crashing on the rocks of discord. Until this time the Ecu¬ menical Council had been a warship, defending its faithful from heresy, schism, and internal corrupation. Now it is a vessel of peace and CONCORD. The holy fisherman of the Ecumenical Council is the Genial Pope, John XXIII. He sails the troubled seas in order to bring about an ever more perfect REUNION of Christians in God; in order to make the Church the SOUL OF THE WORLD. Casting his net of UNITY over so great a world is a most difficult task, for centuries of prejudice and animosity have created tremendous barriers. He cannot work alone! Realiz¬ ing this, we pledge to call to mind frequently the words of Saint John Chrysostom: There would be no more Pagans, If we behaved like true Christians. Heeding this message is the only way that we will ever attain world UNITY. With our prayerful wishes for the success of the Second Vatican Council, we dedicate this, our 1963 ANGELICAN, to His Holiness, Pope John XXIII.

DORIS 0AMBINO Physical Education SISTER MARY NORBERTA, R.N., C.S.S.F. School Nurse We are here to help each other, to try to make each other happy. Such is an ancient proverb of our polar dwellers, the Eskimos. Saint Paul expresses this idea more simply yet more profoundly in the words, Fulfill you my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity. (Phil. I 1,2). It is in the Mind of Christ that we are united one to another, for He is Divine Charity, and united to Him, our thoughts become according to His Thought. The awareness of knowledge is the first step to its acguisition and the acquisition of knowledge is, in turn, fundamental to human ad¬ vancement in every sphere. The more we know of God and His creatures, the greater will be our desire to live and to progress in mutual love and understanding. It is in this characteristic spirit of Our Lady of the Angels Academy that our faculty and students strive to attain the Unity of mind as expressed by Saint Paul— . . . that you may be of one mind having the same charity.

S E N I 37 cn O aAS J fidtor The true essence of the spirit of Our Lady of the Angels Academy lies in its striving to form within each Angelite a union of mind, of heart, and of soul. Every aspect must be equally stressed or, an intellectual, an emotional, or even a spiritual emptiness may be produced. Each in its own right must be developed to co-operate within and to form an image of the true womanhood in model of Mary. This idea of unity is introduced to each wavering freshman; instilled in each faltering sophomore; de¬ veloped in each questioning junior; and fulfilled in each striving senior. INTRODUCTION The sun of that autumn day in 1959 undauntingly put forth its shining face. The freshmen class of Our Lady of the Angels Academy also came with shining faces— and with fears, anticipations, and hopes. That first day was opened with prayers as would be each school day for the next four years. Our year was one of so many firsts for us: our first Red Mass when we called upon the Holy Spirit to aid us to keep high the standards for which the Academy stands—moral uprightness and honest scholastic endeavor ; initiation when we overcame our newness by commemo¬ rating our new states, Alaska and Hawaii; adoption when through the intervention of the Blessed Virgin Mary we gained the smiles, help, and above all, the friendship of our big sisters; the Father-Daughter banquet and the Mother-Daughter tea, when we presented each parent with a token of our love and appreciation. To give honor to our big sisters on their Ring Day, we accepted our first responsi¬ bility—the Ring Day program. The laughter, tears, and love that went into our pro¬ duction of Gilbert Sullivan ' s H.M.S. Pinafore hid our imperfections. The school play, Ring Day program, and Retreat taught us to work with others and with God. This was our freshman .year. It sped by on angel ' s wings as we changed from a simple group of girls to a unified class of Angelites. INSTILLMENT Summer passed and we returned. Caesar met us on the threshold and escorted us through the Gallic Wars only to lose us in a tangle of geometric figures and type¬ writer keys. National elections held special interest for Angelites because it was we who stopped the Kennedy motorcade enroute to Hartford prior to his presidential election. In the Christmas play we presented the international customs of the yule time season. Our world is one exceedingly interested in international affairs, in which we must be to exist and to venture ahead. Beautiful Dreamer was the school play in which we sophomores played the leading roles. Retreat brought us closer to God, and John Glenn, our first astronaut, brought the heavens a little closer in the United States ' first orbital flight. On Arbor Day a Flowering Crabapple was planted so that it might serve as a living monument to our existence. So too were the ideals of the Academy planted in our beings to grow and to become living proof of its truth. 38 DEVELOPMENT Upperclassmen. Somehow the title seemed strange, but we tried hard to make it fit. Adoption was very special, for it was we who were to be big sisters ; who were to lead and aid instead of to follow and need. Growth is a natural act, but developing correctly is a most arduous task. To aid us and all humanity Pope John XXIII issued his encyclical Mater et Magistra. We employed the Holy Father ' s words for our annual Labor Essay, this year treating social problems between nations. As juniors it was our task to choose the tokens of our class. Mint green and white, our class colors were offset with the class flower, the yellow rose. We chose the words that guided Dr. Thomas Dooley, But I have promises to keep; and miles to go before I sleep to guide us also. Saint Therese of the Child Jesus was selected as our class patron so that we might learn to imitate her simplicity. Ring Day became one of our greatest moments, for we received tangible proof of our lives as Angelites. A ring having no beginning or end is a perfect example of the sense of unity that we must strive for. Unaware were we as we watched a fourth of our class accept another symbol—a medal, which represented the higher goal to which they aspired. FULFILLMENT We greeted our senior year with mixed emotions—joy that we were approaching womanhood, and sadness that we would be leaving the Academy. Initiation was immense pleasure for the seniors and nervous fear for the freshies. With the great stress being put upon the sciences, the Academy opened its new modernly equipped laboratory to enable Angelites to study more extensively and to be prepared to meet the needs of the times. All the beautiful ceremonies and the everyday affairs took on a deeper meeting. We were older; we understood better, and we were definitely aware that this was our last year at the academy. In order to nurture the seed of unity which had begun to sprout, Pope John XXIII convened the Ecumenical Council on October 2, 1962. Clergy of all religious denominations gathered in Rome to begin the mammouth labor of establishing world unity. World unity, however, can only be obtained through individual unity, which must be the goal of our education. The Academy paid special tribute to Rev. Mother Mary Alexander, Mother General of the Congregation of Sisters of Saint Felix-on the occasion of her Golden Jubilee. We presented La Madre, the life of Saint Theresa of Avila, who in her time exhibited a great force just as Mother Alexander is doing in today ' s world. The year drew to a close. Exams were passed, Washington was visited, and gradua¬ tion was envisioned on the horizon. To us, O. L. A. is not a building, it is a spirit that is instilled in its students and carried forth by the graduates year after year. O. L. A. signifies the promise of our tomorrow; the spirit of our today; the memory of yesterday. Mary Ann Markowski Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.

Her subjects are like knights of old, universally taking part in the unity of her organization, the harmony of her doctrines, the consistency of her aims and purposes, and the sublimity of her ideals. These knights are governed by their Eucharistic King, Jesus Christ. Through His mercy, justice, and goodness their souls are brought closer to heaven and heaven is drawn nearer to mankind through them. Through the liturgy of the One True Church all Christendom is drawn closer together. Through the graces of her sacraments and sacramentals men are made brothers. Through the beauty of her sacred rites and measured chants, hearts gain God-like peace. Through her life of prayer and sacrifice, human life strives for per¬ fection. Through her unique oneness then, all the knights keep close be¬ neath the standard of Christ, their Eucharistic King.

In union there is life and joy. The road of Christian helpful living is deep and loyal regard for people. The Angelite who would live fully must be socially mature. Social ma¬ turity is the result of various bonds of unity. The foremost of these bonds is friendship, for friendship is the first stepping stone to unity. As Channing said, True friends have no solitary joy or sorrow. With friends man thinks aloud. He shares his thoughs and ideas and thus, moves mountains because he is united to his fellow humans through friendship. From this powerful virtue stems every other bond of oneness. Man understands individual differences because he knows his friends. He willingly shares in common chores because he has an inborn desire to aid his friends. He realizes frequent demands for thoughtfulness because he loves his friends. Friendship leads to unity, and unity produces social maturity.
